Description

For sale is a beautiful German EMI / HMV Quadrophonic pressing of Mahler Symphony No.1 conducted by Klaus Tennstedt with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

This is one of Tennstedt’s most emotionally intense early Mahler recordings and has become increasingly respected among collectors for its dark atmosphere, explosive climaxes, and deeply lyrical phrasing.

The German EMI red label Quadrophonic editions are especially appreciated for:

• rich analog warmth
• spacious orchestral imaging
• powerful low brass and timpani

Even when played in standard stereo systems, these Quadrophonic-compatible pressings often deliver exceptionally wide soundstage and impressive dynamic range.
